Objective 2: Encouraging Page-Turning Motivation
Elijah's enthusiasm for discussing his schedule served as motivation for
turning the pages of the book. The book incorporates familiar elements related to
his daily routine, creating a sense of anticipation for what comes next. To assess
his objective, we can record the frequency and duration of Elijah's engagement
with the book, focusing on his willingness to turn the pages independently.
Increased interest and initiative in page-turning would indicate success in this
aspect.
Objective 3: Supporting Sequential Language and "And then" Usage
Elijah frequently uses the phrase "and then" as a stim and script. Our third
objective is to provide functional meaning to this language by linking it to
sequential events within the book. By practicing the language he already knows
and loves in the context of the book, we aim to build the foundation for using
sequential language in a meaningful way. To evaluate this objective, we can assess
Elijah's ability to verbally express the sequence of events within the book,
including his use of "and then" to connect them.
The creation of a multisensory book for Elijah addresses specific learning
objectives related to tactile scanning, page-turning motivation, and sequential
language development. By maintaining a consistent format and incorporating
elements related to his interests, striving to support his educational goals
